  1. The reason they're giving away the drugs for free is less to do with the "public service" aspect of it and more designed to be something they can point to if they ever get arrested for doing this. It's harder to justify convicting someone for "drug trafficking" if they're literally receiving no money for it. That isn't a sale, that's a gift.

  2. It's more about the statement than anything else. It's just like she said, it's a nothing amount for most users. So they will do their free little quarter gram and then approximately 8-10 hours later they'll go through their usual connect to get more. Period. So if the goal is to save lives, it won't work. It's more about the statement and getting this video made and getting a conversation started. I am not at all surprised that this happened in Vancouver, though. They are way ahead of the times as far as everything surrounding drug reform, starting with safe injection sites (the first in the world, or at least in the Western world anyway).
